PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Beauty is like royalty-all
doors open TO it
Mans thought lasts longer
than mans deed.
A mistake is one thing and
blunder is another.
We Judge, in this world, not
by intention, but by result.
Genius is SO rare that it must
impress one when one meets 1t.
Men love to hear of their pow.
er but have an extreme disrel-
ish to be told their duty.
When what is good comes of
of age and is likely to live,
there is reason for rejoicing.
People seldom improve when
they have no other model but
themselves TO copy after.
How little d. they see what is,
who frame their hasty judgment
upon that which seems.
A complete and generous ed
ucation fits a man to perform
Justly, skillfully and magnan-
imously all the Offices of peace
and war.
He that would relish success
to purpose should keep his
passion cool, and his expecta-
ton low.
Nothing but the right can be
expedient. since that can never
be true expediency, which
would sacrifice a greater good to
a less.
Debt rolls man over and
over, binding him hand and
foot and letting him hang upon
: the fatal mesh until the long
legged interest devours him.

the merits of collegiate education for

about this: A collegiate education is
sometimes too ponderous for mans

itors who affect to believe thst journal

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Letters of Senator James z. WILSON of Iowa
20 the Fairfield Ledger,
LETTER NO. ".


FAIRFIELD, Iowa, April so, 1S57.
Editors Ledger; One of the reasons
given by the railroad companies in their
petitions to the Interstate commerce
commission for the suspension Of the So
called long and short hsuI provision of
the law is, that under it they cannot sue
cessfully compete with the water lines Of
transportation. In their presentation of
this branch Of their several cases the
companies are giving to the people some
pretty interesting inside views Of trans
portation practices.
Every person knows that transporta-
ton by water can be proftably conducted
at much lower rates than by rail. Water
crafts can, it is claimed, transport at
profit for rates that would impose q loss
on q railroad company. This is urged
by the representatives of the companies
as q reason why they should be relieved
from the operation of the fourth section
of the interstate commerce law. Is it q
valid reason? No. Why7 Because, if
allowed, it, by implication at least,
would Justify 6 railroad company in per-
forming such transportation at loss.
HOWshaS THIS Deen etected. by unload
ing the loss OF the railroad companies
upon the business communities where
water transportation does not exist How
is this done? By increasing the rates on
sll transportation to and from such COM
munities.
The United States has expended hun
dreds of millions Of dollars in maintain !
ing and improving our rivers and harbors,
The money thus used is furnished by the |
people ct large through the revenue laws
of the government. Whatever benefit |
comes from 1t should be shared by the |
whole country in every part thereof. |
But this cannot be If the railroad compa-
MES are allowed to do business at loss
from points where water competition eX-
lists and then impose unreasonable rates
on that of places where it does not exist,
aud thus reimburse themselves at the ex-

THE conduct of the Edin5urg officials
in refusing admission to Mr.. Blaine IS
most reprehensible. Mr.. Blaine is an
uncompromising Republican and we
fight him for it, but he is a distinguished
American citizen, and we admire him for
it and must resent an insult to him as an
insult TO the nation. This episode should
teach Americans to have less veneration
